Chapter 3

In the bathhouse, Qin Wanyuan’s pupils slightly contracted.

“Desire… power?”

Of course, she now very much desired power!

If she had been stronger in her previous life, she could have stayed with Lin Que, not letting him bear so much, and in the end, it wouldn’t have…

In this life, the first thing Qin Wanyuan did after her rebirth was to retreat and cultivate hard, wanting to change the outcome by improving her cultivation.

Unfortunately, in her previous life, her cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul stage at best. Even if she was reborn, she could at most avoid some detours, but it wouldn’t lead to a qualitative change.

At most, when the evil cultivators invaded, she would drag Lin Que down a little less.

She had also thought about using the information gap from her previous life to find the ultimate spiritual herbs or magical treasures that were about to appear in this period.

But…

Unfortunately, Qin Wanyuan in her previous life was almost indifferent to these things. She thought that as long as she lived her life well, she didn’t envy or care about others’ fortuitous encounters.

So, after becoming the personal disciple of an elder and living a happy life with Lin Que and her sister, Qin Wanyuan’s attitude towards cultivation was always to go with the flow.

Her pursuit was never ambitious, not seeking immortality, only wishing for peace and happiness.

But now, after experiencing the sect massacre by evil cultivators, Lin Que’s sacrifice, and once again wandering with her sister, Qin Wanyuan finally understood

Without power, even the smallest happiness cannot be protected.

[Host, do you desire power?] The system’s voice sounded again. Although the female voice was emotionless, it inexplicably sounded like a devil tempting her to fall.

“Yes… I desire power!” Qin Wanyuan clenched her fists and said seriously.

[To wear the crown, one must bear its weight. Does the host have the resolve to pay the price for power?]

“Yes! No matter what price I have to pay, no matter how much pain I have to endure, as long as it’s for them, I’m willing!”

Qin Wanyuan’s tone was firm, unwavering, but then she curiously asked, “However… may I ask who you are? And how will you make me stronger?”

[Replying to the host, this system is the Supreme Dao Companion Cultivation System. As the name suggests, it aims to cultivate the host’s Dao companion. The system will customize an exclusive plan based on the Dao companion’s physique, comprehension, and bone structure. As long as the tasks are completed, the Dao companion can receive attribute rewards, and the host can also receive rewards and system points.]

[System points can be used to exchange for items and treasures in the shop, as well as to change physique.]

Qin Wanyuan nodded, somewhat understanding, “So, I can make both myself and Lin Que stronger?”

[That’s right.] The system replied indifferently, [The improvement of this system is quite considerable. According to calculations, as long as the host completes the tasks step by step, within a year, the cultivation of both the host and the Dao companion will be enough to survive the disaster in two years.]

Listening to the system’s explanation, Qin Wanyuan fell into deep thought.

If the system could really make Lin Que stronger, then even if they didn’t escape the sect, he could survive the disaster in two years.

[So, host, do you want to bind with this system and receive the first task?]

For some reason, although the voice was still emotionless, Qin Wanyuan inexplicably felt that the other party was somewhat eager.

“Although you speak well, why do you want to help me? What’s in it for you?”

Qin Wanyuan had lost her family at a young age and relied on her only sister. Before joining the Wenjian Sect, she wandered in the mortal world for several years. After the destruction of the Wenjian Sect, she and Qin Qian’er drifted in the chaotic world for a long time.

Having seen countless dangers in the world, she naturally couldn’t believe in free benefits falling from the sky, nor could she easily trust the so-called “system.”

[This is a confidentiality clause. The host does not have the authority to view it.] The system’s cold voice sounded.

“Then, what exactly is the task you mentioned?” Qin Wanyuan slowly narrowed her eyes and asked the system.

Indeed, from the beginning until now, the system had been avoiding the task content, instead constantly talking about the benefits and proposing the concept of “binding to receive tasks.”

Does this mean that once bound, there is no turning back?

[This is a confidentiality clause…]

Before the system could finish speaking, Qin Wanyuan immediately interrupted its repetition.

“If you don’t tell me the task content, I would rather have my cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect, and I will leave safely with Lin Lang and Qian’er.”

[…Difficult woman.]

Faintly, Qin Wanyuan seemed to hear the system click its tongue.

[According to the system’s deduction, the host’s Dao companion has the Void Abyss Physique, which can absorb all rivers and gain the characteristics of the other party through dual cultivation, becoming stronger. The host’s first task is to choose a strategy target.]

“So you want me to push Lin Lang to other women? That’s absolutely impossible!” Qin Wanyuan instinctively retorted.

Everyone has possessiveness, and Qin Wanyuan was no exception.

Even though the cultivation world is like the mortal world, where men can marry multiple wives, she still yearned for a monogamous marriage. Lin Que also promised her that he would not take any more wives.

[Then what? If you don’t do this, he will die in two years. This is fate. After the evil cultivators destroyed the Wenjian Sect, the Eastern Region where you are located has been in chaos for a long time. The dangers are naturally clear to the host. Do you think Lin Que will not risk his life again to protect you?]

[Host, do you want a corpse that only loves you, or a living Lin Que?]

At this moment, the system seemed to undergo some subtle changes, and its originally cold tone gradually gained emotion.

[Host, you don’t want your Dao companion to die tragically in two years, do you?]

“…..” Qin Wanyuan was silent, or rather, she began to waver.

If Lin Que’s death was truly destined, how could she possibly resist?

Having lived again, she naturally believed in fate, after all, this so-called system seemed to be the reason for her rebirth.

Just then, the voice of the system echoed in her mind once more.

【This system adheres to the principle of voluntariness; the choice is in the host’s hands. Before dawn, the host can choose whether to bind with the system.】

【Before that, this system can offer the host a free reminder: Is your night life with your partner harmonious?】

“…Of course it is harmonious; Lin Que is quite impressive.” Qin Wanyuan hesitated for a moment, then answered with a slightly flushed face.

She and Lin Que were naturally the best partners, both in soul and body, perfectly responding to each other’s needs.

On a night a year after they became partners, looking at Lin Que’s chiseled profile as he gazed up at the moon, the moonlight reflected in his deep, dark eyes, gentle as water.

Qin Wanyuan could not suppress her restless emotions; she gently embraced him and kissed him. This was their first intimate encounter.

In the following years, their night life remained harmonious, which made Qin Wanyuan quite proud and pleased.

She occasionally heard rumors about certain cultivators who could not satisfy their wives, leading to disharmony in their partnership, and even causing the woman to stray due to unfulfilled desires. Such matters, once spread, could lead to the man losing face.

But Lin Que had no such issues; every time they united, Qin Wanyuan felt completely satisfied. Moreover, her love for Lin Que could never waver because of such matters. Even if they did nothing but quietly gaze at each other, she felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment.

【What this system refers to is not Lin Que, but the host.】

【Host, have you truly satisfied your partner?】

【Every dark night, when the host is contentedly nestled in his arms, has the host ever wondered what Lin Que might be thinking?】

Though the system’s tone held no emotional fluctuations, Qin Wanyuan could detect a hint of mockery within.

“Not at all… it’s not like what you said.” Qin Wanyuan clenched her delicate fist, speaking angrily.

【If the host does not believe it, tonight would be a good time to try.】

“Fine, I’ll try!”
